A “KICKING” 7-PIECE BAND PERFORM THE TIMELESS “STRANGE MAGIC” OF E.L.O.
The much anticipated return to Kilkenny is finally upon us! The Show features all the classic hits such as ‘Evil Woman’, ‘Showdown’, ‘Livin’ Thing’ & ‘Mr. Blue Sky’, performed fully live by the band inclusive of 6-part vocal harmonies and a string section to add that authentic classical sound!
With stunning visuals and videos that will blow you away! This 7-piece live band are dedicated to performing the music of Jeff Lynne, known as the creator of ELO and producer to many world famous acts such as George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty & Roy Orbison to name a few. This outstanding list of musical colleagues also led to the formation of “The Travelling Wilburys”, in which Jeff Lynne also featured as a member. “Showdown” The E.L.O. Experience has been a resounding success in venues throughout Ireland and the musicians are thrilled to bring the show to Set Theatre!
